As teams prepare for week 2 of the 2022 NFL season, the opportunity to take a look at the Top 10 NFL Rookies 2022 rankings September list has arrived.

One of those 2022 NFL rookies making a strong case for the 2022 NFL Defensive Rookie of the Year award is the Detroit Lions first round pick Aidan Hutchinson.

As Hutchinson has been dominant on the defensive side of the ball, a long list of other rookies have made their mark early on as well.

The group of rookies include the talented wide receivers Drake London and Garrett Wilson while defensive rookies Travon Walker and Cobie Durant have played great to start the season. Here is a look at the Top 10 NFL Rookies 2022 rankings September.
